More than 100 Venezuelans deported from the U.S. are missing after earthquakes destroyed their hotel.
A deportation flight from Miami arrived in Venezuela on June 24, 2026, carrying 146 Venezuelans who were taken to a hotel in La Guaira. Hours later, 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck the region, collapsing the hotel. Survivors report more than 100 deportees remain missing; the Venezuelan government says over 1,700 people were killed in the earthquakes.
